More information on the venue:

Sous Bas closed its doors and has re-opened under new management by previous members of the Sous Bas Clubhouse as & THEN YOU...!

As Sous Bas did, they are continuing to focus on FUN, INCLUSIVITY & SAFETY in their amazing basement dance space, they are big fans of Fascination and we couldn't be happier to help support them and their amazing staff too!

Be sure to follow them on socials and support them in any way you can. Hamilton really needs this venue after all that we went through during the pandemic. A place to express ourselves, let loose, and forget our troubles!
